Tips for Better Scores

Don’t rush! Make sure you understand what each question is asking before you answer.
For fill-in-the-blank questions, spelling matters. Double-check your answers.
For multiple choice, cross out answers you know are wrong. This makes it easier to find the right answer.
If you’re stuck on a reading comprehension question, go back and re-read that part of the passage.
Take a moment to look over all your answers before you click Submit. You might catch a mistake!
If a question is hard, try your best. It’s better to guess than to leave it blank.

​
Common Issues

You may not have completed all required activities. Go back and make sure everything is done.
This usually means there was an internet problem. Check your connection and refresh the page. If your work is gone, you may need to redo it - talk to your teacher.
Once you submit, you can’t change answers. Ask your teacher if they can reset the assignment for you.
Try:
  1. Wait a few seconds - it might be loading
  2. Refresh the page
  3. Close the browser and sign in again
  4. Ask a parent or teacher for help
Check your Done section. If the assignment is there, it was submitted. Show your teacher. If it’s not there, you may need to do it again.
